I traded in my 2011 F350 PSD DRW and it did great towing out 2013 Landmark 13,000 lbs +/- thru the Mountains of Western North Carolina. I towed in Overdrive. Have not towed with my 2014 PSD DRW yet. Same Engine, etc. so I am sure it will meet my Expectations. 400HP and 800 Lbs. of Torque is plenty for me.
Now you know we don't have "mountains" east of the Mississippi:B
close to the top of I26 where you leave TN and go into NC, I was at 60 mph and truck was in 6th gear...so, like you, we've got enough HP and TQ to "get er done".....Coming up I64 Sandstone Falls to Beckley, a 7% grade for a pretty long stint, (6-7 miles)...same thing, dropped into 6th gear at 63 mph.. my 5er weighs 16,050#... Imagine it would have done even better if I dropped 2500-3,000 #....I too can live with the 385HP and 850ftlb of TQ...may want to get a heavier 5er one day...
